Mobile network EE has launched an action camera that will live-stream video footage of your life in 4G - meaning that anyone can become a high-definition broadcaster with ease.

The live footage - captured in HD - is streamed to a platform called Skeegle and also stored on an SD card within the action cam.

To demonstrate the broadcasting capabilities, a free runner has raced over the arch at Wembley today, streaming his view via the ‘4GEE’ action camera strapped to his helmet.

The camera comes with two cases - one lightweight protective case and one bulkier waterproof one for underwater broadcasting.

You’ll also get a viewfinder watch to keep track of and control what you’re recording, and take still images when needed. Alternatively you can use the iOS or Android version of the Action Cam app on your own smartphone.

The device is the first in a range of 'connected' devices - that take advantage of the network's super-fast upload and download speeds - planned from the company in 2015.

EE says it will launch more products for the home, car, business and for keeping people fit.

"4G has changed the way people experience content, and also how they create it – with TV, video and social media currently accounting for 50% of 4G network traffic," an EE spokeswoman told Mirror Online.

“We've introduced our 'connected strategy' as we understand our customers not only want superfast coverage, they want products that give them the very best experiences, coupled with the most innovative and exciting ways in which to share them,” added EE’s CEO Olaf Swantee.
